Anyone heard of them?

[Flaming Nemo]

Dear reefers,

I'm looking for shopping corals online in Singapore. Anyone recommendation?

Some bros from other forum give me www.fish n friends and www.coralmarketplace.com

Dnt know anyone got go there before?

Need some recommendation?

Thanks

It better to buy at LFS where you can choose the one you like and seen it in person than with just picture. Just my 2 cents.

[Flaming Nemo]

Yap I agree but online are cheaper. Today i went to a shop and they sell the corals so EX!!! Not to mention the shop name, its ridiculous!!

Anyhow buckup price....

Imagine a frag of anemone mushroom sell $70 bucks..... Madnesss I think i can grow myself or used that to cultivate abalone for me to eat hahahaha

I went and see fishn friends they no longer sell except coralmarketplace. Their price there is reasonable leh compare to those shop.

At least i can wait for them to deliver to me...

[xersion]

well i think if because of just 1 lfs u are saying all the lfs. i think its abit of unfair.

[achillies]

I agree that you LFS are definitely cheaper. Reefers pls compare prices n species n quality..etc before you regret.

BTW, this shld be another sub forum.

Just my 2 cents.

could it be a rare or unique type?

[xersion]

it's not rare at all.. it's just those normal zoas.. CF has lots of those in their tank..

Hi guys,

Sorry i dnt know the market price mah... maybe i should tell them to reduce their price... maybe i will buy from them

must go and find the boss and tell him

btw way reborn i went before.. very dirty and unhygene... coral also not healthy no wonder so cheap....

Thanks any way

[xersion]

btw way reborn i went before.. very dirty and unhygene... coral also not healthy no wonder so cheap....

if u wan clean and hygiene then go to coral farm lor..

[w3ish3ng]

just go down to pasir ris farm. i can ensure you can find good and cheap corals over there.

[monpire]

"Unhygienic" errhhh bro...we are dealing with bacteria and micro-organisms..so much for that ha ha ha...btw, Coral Farm also can find some cute insects running around on the floor...actually they look like mutated roaches...hee hee hee...very very cute

Some LFS really can chop people, but there are some that give very good prices. Furthermore, I managed to pick up alot of things about reefing from the staff and owners of the shop...value added services...hahaha. Happy reefing

[piero]

yeah... Somehow feel that the cost of corals are going up as compared to a couple of years ago. Or maybe I am just not going to the right places?

[Reefaholic]

I do not know the thread starter intention?

a) To promote online www.coralmarketplace.com? which i think is not allow as this is commercial posting?

To check LFS market pricing so that www.coralmarketplace.com knows where it stands?

c) Or to discourage others to buy from LFS and go and buy online rather?

d) Or to find out anyone here purchase corals online? I heard there was one or two retailers selling corals online that went bust as quickly as they set up 1-2 years ago. If you are setting one? Or your friend is setting one, god blessed you.

Members have a right to be a little sensitive on this topic -

although you have a right to feel happy paying $25 for a Sarcophyton leather coral, many other hobbyist who visit the shops know very well its way beyond what they would pay. You also fail to mention the weekday $20 9am-3pm delivery charge (making your leather hmmm$45), of course if you want it on the weekend its $40 additional.

Now that's becomes $65 for a leather coral.

There is no coralmarketplace registered in the singapore business directory

http://www.acra.gov.sg/general/directory.html

maybe it is not registered under the above name - if so a business reg number should be provided somewhere on the site especially when its a online shop (which can be here today-gone tomorrow)

The website payment options only have Internet transfer or ATM transfer & contact details are to a Hotmail account.

If this does not raise questions in yourself, you have no one to blame.

I would suggest that if you really want to buy from them - do so only cash on delivery. If it doesn't turn up- you loose nothing.

I have not mentioned anything about commercial or the terms used on the site which raises a lot of brows .

Not fair to make flame on LFS for this issue. At LFS, you like it you take it. Dont like dont take. Online, can reject when deliver or not?
